Remember when Simon Cowell replaced Cheryl Cole on The X Factor (US) with Nicole Scherzinger? Well, it looks like we weren’t the only ones who were a little disappointed to see one of our favorite UK singers get the axe from the show. Will.I.Am has not only become one of Cheryl’s managers, but seems to agree with us that she’s more talented than some of the other stars on the show. In a new interview, the singer talked about his plans to turn the singer into an international superstar.
“Cheryl won’t do X Factor,” Will said. “Why does she need it? Why are you going to make someone else rich? Cheryl needs her own show. Cheryl Cole was current on X Factor. She was the only one on the panel with musical experience of what it feels like to go through that process.”
But, don’t think that Cheryl has paused her career because of being replaced on the show. Since the show, the singer has not only filmed a movie with Cameron Diaz but her new album will also be in stores in March. “Cheryl’s the best,” He said. “I was just hanging out with her on Tuesday, listening to her new stuff and getting her feedback on things and she has some really great tunes.”
Will also said that there’s a 10 year plan to make Cheryl Cole a global superstar. ”The Cheryl that we know now is different from the one we’re going to know 10 years from now. It was 10 years ago that me and the Black Eyes Peas wrote “Where is The Love?. I’m planning a future for Cheryl in that way. Madonna is Madonna. You don’t want Cheryl to be Madonna, you want Cheryl to be Cheryl.”
Although, some say that the two have been dating. Will shot down the dating rumors. “Cheryl is beautiful for sure,” he smiles. “But for me, my mum’s the most beautiful woman in the world. She is dope.”
They may not be dating, but they sure would make an adorable couple!

Last year the Black Eyed Peas gave a debatable Super Bowl halftime performance, With her highly anticipated Super Bowl performance right around the corner, everyone’s trying to guess who Madonna’s special guests will be for the show. Artists like M.I.A., Nicki Minaj, and Britney Spears have all been mentioned to be in the show, but there’s still no confirmation on who the special guest will be. But, it looks like Will.I.Am knows who the special guests will be.
In a new interview with UK radio station Capital FM, Will.I.Am was asked about this year’s Super Bowl said, “I”m going to the Super Bowl this year to see my group LMFAO perform with Madonna.” said the singer. Madge has yet to confirm her guests for the show, but Will seems pretty adamant performing with the singer.

We may not know who her special guest is for the show, but one one thing that we do know is that Madonna always puts on a good show!
Lady Gaga can now add restaurant owner to her long list of achievements! The popstar’s parents are opening a new Italian restaurant on the Upper West Side named for her late aunt, Joanne Trattoria.

Even though the restaurants menu isn’t online yet, we can only imagine how long it’ll take to reserve a table at Gaga’s new restaurant.
And don’t think that just because the restaurant has Gaga’s name that it’s gonna be as busy looking as The Hard Rock Cafe. In an interview with The New York Times, Papa Germonatta tweeted, “If they’re expecting to come in here and see Grammys and pictures and stuff like that, it’s not going to happen.”
Wait….a Gaga project that doesn’t have any crazy gimmicks or over the top prices like her collaboration with Barney’s New York? Awww! Our Gaga’s growing up!
